Myself and 4 other observers saw the Pratincole at Walsh's Lagoon around 1pm
Thursday, where we watched it for about 30-40 minutes. At the end of this time
it took flight and headed in a straight line towards the You Yangs until it
could no longer be seen (one observer commented it looked like it was "heading
to SIberia"!). Fingers crossed for it staying around.
Cheers, Dean

Red-necked Phalarope was again in the 85W Lagoon , so busy feeding and
occasioning doing its anti- clockwise turning. A very elegant bird.
Wood Sandpipers in 35W and the Long-toed Stint in 35E Conservation Pond.
Late afternoon when the conditions were mild and the light was very good was
the ideal time.
Did not see the Pratincole.
